What advantage does a nurse have in locating a job he or she likes?

a. Nursing school encourages one to decide on a career area prior to graduation and allows for extra experiences.
b. Clinical assignments include practical nursing experience in a variety of clinical settings.
c. For nursing students in a community college or vocational/technical setting, the school guarantees a job on graduation.
d. Because of the rapid turnover of nurses in health care facilities, locating a choice job is easy.

Question 2

Select the examples of LPN/LVN charge nurse directions that meet the criteria for Right Direction/Communication. (Select all that apply.)

a. Please bathe Mrs. Duffy today, cut her nails, and shampoo her hair. The beautician will set her hair at 11 AM.
b. Mr. Hovde needs to have fluids pushed today. His skin seemed dry to me when I made rounds, and we certainly don't want him to become dehydrated.
c. Mrs. Neidert needs to walk from her room to the nurses' station with the assistance of two this morning and again after lunch. Please report whether she does this easily or with difficulty.
d. Offer Mr. Jones the urinal before breakfast and before his shower. Report to me immediately if he voids and the amount he voids. If he does not void by 10 AM, notify me, as I will need to catheterize him.
e. Mrs. Snyder must be showered, dressed in street clothes, and groomed by 10 AM. Have her hat, coat, and mittens ready. The Medi-van is picking her up at 10:30 for a doctor's appointment.

Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Having experience in a variety of clinical settings makes it easier to determine which types of units one would find to be a good match for skills and personality traits. Nursing school does not encourage one to decide on a career area prior to graduation, nor does it allow for extra experiences. Community colleges and vocational/technical settings do not guarantee a job upon graduation. It is not necessarily true that because of rapid turnover of nurses in health care facilities, locating a choice of job is easy. There may be no openings on units the nurse would prefer.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, C, D, E
The directions offered in these options are clear, specific, as detailed as necessary and given at the nursing assistant's level of understanding. The resident goal has been identified in each case or a rationale has been given. When results are needed at a specific time, an explanation is given. When reporting is required, it is stated. These criteria are not met in the option with Mr. Hovde.
